Point the track of the Chicago. Milwaukee
" ST. Paul railway has been washed ont for
distance OF about one-half mile. \ heavy
rise is hourly expected to reach here from

feet III the last twelve hours and reports of
. general overflow along both sides of the
river are being received. COurierS were
dispatched 10 the more threatened districts
and farmers warned in time TO move their

counts of floods which are very
largely caused by an outpour-
mE OF The waters OF intermediate
streams and the Use and fall OF the Mis-
souri, below Bismarck is moi therefore to be
governed entirely by the flow from the ice
dam near Bismarck. The Grand, Moreau,
Sheyenne, Bad, White and Niobrara rivers
are all large streams in the flood season,
and they drain The slope west of the Mis-
souri, between Bismarcl; and Iankton. All
these rivers are attaining flood proportions
and are pouring their volume INTO the Mis-
souri,. From THIS source high water can be
expected at Iankton independent OF any
rise at Bismarck Ii is stated that the
Hood in the Moreau has raised the water
above the tree tops and that the Missouri
below the mouth of that stream is six feet
higher than in 1881 and is covering all the
bottom lands. We can therefore look for 4
considerable rise at this point from the Mo-
leau and its companion streams OF the west
ward slope.

Savage Ornaments in Dakota.

feleHu HeFSiu.
There are few ornaments now III use
with any meaning among the Dakota In
dams. Eagle feathers the number worn
showing the number Of enemies killed, the
wing feathers of the bald-headed eagle de-
noting male, and the black eagle feathers
denoting women, are, perhaps, the most
prominent. If they have Scalped the enemy
q broad red streak is painted upon the
feathers. If the person killed was of promi-
nence or reputation, the feather is some
times dyed red. Small sticks wrapped with
porcuplne quilts are sometimes attached to
the quill OF the feather, and lit
tie pieces of white fur glued to
the ends. No one will wear an
eagle feather unless entitled to it. rs they
believe it will fly away from their heads If
worn unlawfullY. The scalp-lock isr still
worn even among the so-called civilized In
dians. They arrange the scalp lock proper
! an inch across, and tie around this very
firmly a headband, and then the hair is
braided and an otter skin is tied around il
SpirallY, forming braid at least two. and
sometimes as much as four feet long. This
is kept oiled for the enemy. If an Indian
has the time, and the person killed is of
importance, he will scalp off the whole from
beneath the eyebrows including the eyes
GliZZy bear claws are worn as necklaces, |
do not believe as q mark OF distinction. but
as they are costly believe the wearing of
them is merely matter Of wealth and not
of chieftanShip.
Aside from lis religious position the Wi
cas-ta-wa- kan. or medicine man, is the ply
stefan among the Dakotas. thoroughly con-
versant with the medicinal qualities of the
various herbs. To give greater effect to his
remedies he is accompanied by drum and
rattles, and INDUCES in much cOntortion of

men, III some instances when the army sur

in mind was of cataract of the eye. 1t was
cured by inserting beneath the lids filings
from brass wire. The patients are always
painted red, to make their hearts strong,
they say. Often the medicine men will cut
all image out of paper or bark, and placing
it upon the ground, the patient is held over
it; then the medicine man will take his gun
and shoot the image, destroying the evil
spirit that had caused the sickness.
